So, i cant deal with this triumph reliability. I used to do almost 30K miles a year. I dont know if I did 5K this year. I will not stand for this.

Here are my potential options:

2012 Honda CBR 1000RR fireblade ABS. 20th ani edition.

pros: Honda reliability
175HP stock
ABS (big one)

cons: its 30lbs more then the GSX-R.
…

On to #4 on our list. This spot is dedicated to a style of bike that needs a few things to be enjoyed right. They are as follows:

1: the twistiest, more winding road you can think of
2: having experianced a big bore, high horsepower bike
3: next to no traffic
4: having the skill to really push this bike to what it can…

Soooo. number 3. The first 2 were DRASTICALLY different. The greatest touring machine and couch on wheels ever created, and the dumbest, stupidest, most terrifying assault on physics created.

So, where does that leave us? Well, we officially make to brap time.

Ok, with #1 throwing some for a loop (What, Peter praising a goldwing? what is this madness)

Time to return to regular programming.

This series will be a few articles on some styles of bikes that I think every rider, new, old, fast or slow, cruiser or sport bike (or dirt head)

I’m going to break the series off the start and mention the first bike, is actually a very specific model.

The greatest bike on earth. the honda Goldwing.

So, a few times, we have come up with lists of driving and motorcycling places that MUST be drivne. Road that twist, turn, carve and have views like nothing else.

Conversly, there are also a few lists of must drive cars. Everyone needs to experiance the go-kart like reflexs of a well set up miata, the soft, creamy…

and no one posted? for shame.

It aint binky, but its as fun. 

I’m coming down tomorrow to head to Novi, as I have to pick up a motor for one of my triumphs.


anyone around and want to do a lunch or something?

This is also me realizing Im more old man then I thought, and I would REALLY like one of these in my garage or off-roady and wheelie hooliganism. With knobbies. do want.

Its so tall, standing on the pegs moving riding it around the parking lot I could see CLEAR over a ram 2500. 

subaru STI set up by prodrive tackling the ISLE of MAN TT course.

driver has a pair that clanks. Nothing compared to the bike guys, but this is certianly not for the faint of heart.

BRAAAPPPPPPPP---STU-TU-TU-TU-TU

Woke up, fell out of bed, Tripped on the cat. and then i spilled coffee in the car. 

Already had one customer bitch to me that our service was closed today (not my problem)

5 minutes later, some dude with a pinecone up his ass called for parts (also closed) and INSISTED that I get them a key. told them I cant, they…

My first reaction is to say: nothing.

fresh night air, music in my ears, open roads and 19 thousand RPM of angry 250.


Life is pretty good right now. cant wait to get the suspension sorted of this little guy. 

for some diagnostics.


diagnosis: its FUCKED. holy shit. I never thought id actually blow up a motor proper, yet here we are....

meet the third triple.

the saga of my triumphs is entertaining.

my first (2011) was bought from work as a street bike. I rode it for 2 or 3 months, then it decided to grenade its motor with only 14K km on it.

the second one I got (my yellow 2006) was bought as a crashed bike to turn into a track machine. I replaced…

142K km...on a S1000RR.


sweet baby jesus. “used for transcanada trips”

I’m impressed. Just straight up impressed 

Your favorite car was recalled

Sooooo
